Would you mind throwing me a source for the 80% approval rating part? The closest I can find is a weekly update of Natanyahu's personal rating from back in the last week of July, which fluctuates pretty well (the weeks before went from 35-57% it appears).

Quick google search

I had initially heard it on TYT but there are a couple of articles about the poll. It seems the majority of Israeli's want to continue the war and dont want the 72 hour ceasefire.

The other part that bothers me is the 2 casualties part, most sources put it higher (Not by more than 5, mind you) and the only source I could find that keeps a static two is a poorly written part of Wikipedia that mentions Operation Piller of Defense from a couple years ago.

The 2 might just be an old number. Even if you take 5 as the number its still maintains the same point I was trying to make. Even if we double that and make it 10 civilians killed it still means that Hamas has at least an 80% military to civilian kills as opposed to Israels 80% civilian to military kill rate.

63% is still a pretty strong point though, a lot better than I suspected before I read the article. Glad to see a lot of Israel is tired of the fighting caused by their version of the Republican Party.

I do have to question how many answered they support the fighting because they want the rest of the Palestinian Territories, or how many are thinking that the people in Palestine who are... Causing havok (lack of better wording on my end) for them are still loose.

I do also have to question how many say they support the fighting from a real "Oh yeah, for the best" point of view, and how many actually said "It was better than what could have been done (death wise)".

As for the second part, I was more being pedantic than anything. Like I said, it just bugged me when what appeared to be an old number was used.

Seriously.

Calling it self defense would be like calling it self defense to go to a guy's house, slaughter his kids, his wife, his neighbors, and then him... all because he punched you in a bar.

Or even better - you go steal his house. He comes home and expresses dismay, so you blow up one of his children. He hits you later, in anger, so you nuke him. His family live in the front yard of your house and every now and then you tip the bins on their heads. Whenever they get mad you shoot one. You refuse to allow all but the bare minimum food to them. One of  them gets pregnant, but you stop her from leaving (in the name of your security) and she has a miscarriage.

Then you blame them for the continuing conflict. Terrorism! Hamas! Mean words!

In fairness, the lack of cockney space nazis would ruin the plot...

So ten bajillion Palestinian kids dieting is fine, but one Israeli dying is the end of the world?

I don't get it.  I really don't.  Israel has killed countless Palestinian kids and the world doesn't bat an eye.  Or rather it screams on high about how Israel needs to stop without doing anything to stop them.  One Israeli kid dies and suddenly it'll intensify the conflict?  How?

Maybe they will just start being honest abut targeting civilians and tell the Palestinians "if you don't like it stop lobbing rockets at us (P.S. Leave!)."
